The story of James and Lily

Stag in a suit

Lilys pov

Remus and Peter ended up staying the night last night and after recieveing and owl from Alice, telling me to be at her house today bright and early they decided to stay the rest of the day while i was out. I got ready quickly but upon catching Sirius levitating Natalie in the air i was held back a little trying to find her pillow to sleep on if i took her to Alice's with me. luckly it didn't take to long to find at i was soon In Alice's front room having my dress fitted along with Mar with Natalie sleeping peacefully at my feet. "Al these are beautiful" i smile, looking at us both in the mirror, the dresses are purple floor length and backless, theyre ablosutly stunning and how she has made them in such. ashort amount of time i will never know. the original ones we brought were sent back when Alice had a mad panic deciding that she absolutly hates them now and even questioned her own dress, that one hoever we managed to calm her down on. thankfully. 

"there" she smiles stading back and looking at us both "done". we step down of the little stalls she gave us and get a proper look at her cretion. "Well you certainly have a gift" Mar smiles as she looks down at herself. "and i hated the other dress by the way" she states. "Mar" i scold looking back at Alice "they weren't that bad" she signs and starts putting her sewing stuff away "its fine....i don't like them now anyway" she shrugs. i glare at Marlene but she just shrugs inncently and mouths 'what' to me. i shake my head and motion for her to turn around so that i can undo the zip of her dress. We get changed fairly quickly and are soon sat in Alice's bedroom talking amongst our sleves. "Hey do you wanna come to James's tonight" i ask sitting up straight. "his mum and dad are going to be out all night and the boys are all there anyway.". "sorry i can't the wedding is only two days away and i still have some things to do" Alice says smiling weakly at me. "Mar"i ask grinning at her. "Fine" "yay" i beam hugging her tightly as she tries to pry me off. "agh lilyyyy stoooop" 

we stay at Alice's for a couple more hours before going back to James's and we arrive back to the boys seeing how many burty bots every flavoure beans sirius could fit in his mouth, James ended up making him laugh when he got to 46 and he spat them all over Peter, after that little occurance me and mar decided to go up to my room. "so i have somthing to ask yoou...?" i trail off waiting for her to answer. "what?" she mumbles as she pulls her long blond hair up into a pony tail. "Will you be my maid of honour ?" "what?" she repeates pulling on the hair band so hard that it snapes and she elbows me in the arm. "Ow" i grumble rubbing the throwbing shop with my hand. "i said..will you be my maid of honour?" "really?" she asks looking shocked. "i was kind of assuming you'd pick Alice since you know i'm not exactly into the whole Marriage thing". "mar, just becuase you don't agree with it you're still my best friend, of course i'd want you" she smiles and pulls me in for a hug, somthing that is not a commen thing from Marlene at all. "thanks lil and it's not that i don't think you should get married...i guess i just don't really want any of that...marriage, kids non of it" she shrugs sitting back against the head board. "well, never say never, maybe somone will change your mind" i smile raising my eyebrows at her. My statment was cast aside and we soon moved on to somthing else but the conversation stayed with me the whole night, i agreed to stay with her the night in my room instead of my normal place with James but i found myself laying wide awake while she selpt.

After what felt like hours of sitting in silence i decided to get up and see if anyone was still up yet. i wondered into the living room to see Remus and James sat in the arm chairs talking. "hi" i mumble catching their attention and walking over too james. "hi lily" "hey" they grret me, james strecthing his arms out so that i can sit on his lap, i comply with his invitation and lean back against his chest. "couldn't sleep" i shake my head "nope, Mar was out hours ago but i got bored so i thought i'd come down and see who was up" "well we were just talking about your wedding" Remus smirks motioning to james with his head. "oh really" i smile looking down at him. "yep, james said he wants to do it in his stag form".                                                                      "what?"                                                                                                                                                                                                      "told you she'd like it". "James you can't do that" i tell him shaking my head "But why not? it'd be so cool, just imagin it" he grins, his eyes bright with enthusiasm. "uh maybe because im not marrying a deer" "lily i am a stag not a deer don't you ever say that again" 

The arugment lasts until we got up to bed with me continuly saying no and James's very poor counter argument of 'but it would be so cool'. However, when i reminded him that if for some insane reason i agreed then we would only be able to have people there that knew about both Remus's secret and theres which meant very few would go and no other guests for Sirius to hit on. upon realizing this and knowing that Sirius would not be happy if this were the case he quickly dropped the point and i left to go back to my room, silently laughing at the image of a stag in a suit.
